There is a surprising amount of research which explores and establishes the importance of being grateful and expressing gratitude. This is not so much about spending your entire day saying thank you to everyone, although saying thank you when it's appropriate to do so never goes amiss, and more about acknowledging what goes well every day. And the reality is that for most of us, most things go well for most of the time. It's about celebrating the small victories each day - getting up after a good night's sleep, getting everyone out of the house on time in the morning, the traffic being quieter, shopping and finding the perfect top... the list goes on. Victory after victory, success after success.
